650hp NASCAR-Spec 1971 Chevrolet Camaro IMSA Racer
This legendary 1971 Chevrolet Camaro, originally piloted by Phil Henny in the IMSA series, has been meticulously restored by Ken Garchow. The car features a dry-sump 350ci Chevy small-block engine, equipped with a NASCAR-spec rotating assembly from Joe Gibbs Racing, a Lunati solid roller cam, Pro Action cylinder heads, and an Edelbrock Victor Jr intake manifold. With a dyno-estimated output of 650hp, power is sent through a four-speed Jerico dog box to a Ford 9-inch rear end. Suspension upgrades include stiffer springs, NASCAR-style sway bars, and Viking double-adjustable dampers, providing enhanced performance on the track. Retaining its period-correct aesthetics, this vintage racer continues to compete in road racing events, preserving its historic racing pedigree.
